Default In how many active data breaches are you knowingly involved?

I was already notified of one that motivated me to freeze my credit and two more have arrived this week. Banking, credit, health/medical, and an obscure employer-provided life insurance policy all got hacked. Is this common? Please answer in the poll.

It’s more than you think

Virtually everyone has been involved in tens, at minimum. All of your personal information has been stolen at some point

Some a-hole opened a Bank of America account in my name. Scammer had my social and other pertinent information. I have a continuous freeze on my accounts. Annoying.

I have a continuous freeze on my accounts as someone tried to open multiple credit cards in my name a few months back.

Hypothetically the biggest breach is exposing a group that is conspiring to hide the actions of the elite. When people create secretive groups to harbor the elite from equal accountability, that’s a immunity which will grow into serious wrong doings.

Someone impersonated me, pretending to be a real lions fan on BO and created a Lions team thread after I already created one.

Why would you draw such a distinction between the two? One clearly implies the other? Are you really that dense?
